"PenPal Schools got my students thinking beyond their narrow world. I liked that the program gave me a chance for authentic language assessment and an opportunity for purposeful writing. I also liked how the weekly assignments gave the students responsibility and accountability. "

"Our experience using PenPal Schools increased students' motivation to learn, developed their listening, reading, writing and speaking skills, helped them learn about other cultures, involved them in real-life communication and created a situation of success for everyone. I knew it was a success when after finishing the project my students asked to sign up for another one!"

"PenPal Schools was a unique experience because my students had the chance to interact with students from other countries. I had the chance to expose them to real life."

"I have used Pen Pal Schools since 2013. I found PPS to be an amazing program in which my students had a chance to not just communicate with students outside of our area, but also outside of the country (and) practice vital reading skills such as finding the main idea of a text and elaborating his or her thoughts on the topic with evidence."

"PenPal Schools was an amazing experience for the students in Pristine Private School. It truly made every student happy to have a great feeling of engagement while at the same time accomplishing the task set in the course for them."

"I was impressed with how thoughtful my students were about their responses, particularly after they learned they had authentic audiences! There were a few deep discussions online, which turned into further discussion points in class- the topics really hit home for some of the kids."

"I was told about Penpal Schools by a fellow teacher on my campus that is extremely passionate about breaking down the walls of our school. I signed up my two 4th grade classrooms and we have been excitedly communicating with them at least three times a week since."
